‘... the gap between clubs two divisions apart isn’t as big as some think ... ’ Josh Easby, the editor of RED, explains our club’s ambitions ... AMBITION IS a key ingredient in football. Unless a player, team or club wants to strive for better, the game can become somewhat meaningless. Sure, you can enjoy your next game of football. But in a decade’s time, or when the next generation comes through, will your efforts have improved the lot of those players still to come? As a club, our strategic plan says we will do our best to help future players get the chance to learn and develop, and then play to the highest possible level, if that’s their dream. We want future All Whites and Ferns to

reach the top BECAUSE they grew up in Cambridge, not DESPITE growing up in Cambridge. It’s useful, therefore, when we get the chance to benchmark the standard of our top players against those from other regions, and playing in other competitions. That’s why we get behind our U–19s and U–17s when they head off to national youth tournaments every year. It’s also why we enter football’s oldest competition, the ISPS Handa Chatham Cup. Last weekend, we got the chance to play one of Auckland’s largest and best–resourced clubs, Western Springs, who lead the Northern League’s first division, unbeaten in eight games. For 78 minutes, our first team — with several teenagers who have come through our U-17 and U–19 teams — gave Springs a serious fright before two late goals finally saw them home by 4-2. The game showed the gap between clubs two divisions apart isn’t as big as some think. Six Waikato clubs are among the 64 who have made it to the next round of the cup, showing our region isn’t out of step either. Let’s hang on to our ambitions ...

Much to enjoy from Chatham Cup day CAMBRIDGE may be out of this year’s ISPS Handa Chatham Cup but the manner in which the team performed won them plaudits from home fans and visitors alike. For 78 minutes, Cambridge had Springs wondering whether the cup tie was going to spoil their 100% winning start to the season which had seen them go top of the Northern League’s first division. They got home 4–2 but the cup tie gave us much to feel good about: 1. Workrate. If our first team can sustain the same level of workrate and enthusiasm for WaiBOP Premiership games, they will surely move up the ladder after a shaky start so far. 2. Youth. The decision by the coaching staff to show faith in Cambridge’s emerging youth players has paid off. Teenagers filled key positions and were facing age group internationals and players with national league experience — but they took it all in
their stride. This was reflected in 17–year–old Theo Petropolous being named Player of the Day after an outstanding display in midfield. 3. Excitement. Full marks to the local supporters who got behind the team and were rewarded with 90 minutes of thrills. And thanks too to the junior mascots and Richard Crafts, who loaned us his sound system, for helping provide a bit of additional atmosphere at the kick–off. 4. Hospitality. We pride ourselves for our hospitality but Saturday was special. All four visiting teams profusely thanked the club for providing top facilities and Mexican–style meals that show our catering is among the best, if not the best, in the region. All round, a top day at John Kerkhof Park.

O’Leary signs for Aggies
OUR CLUB needs help from a few
CAMBRIDGE has another footballer
heading to the United States to further his sporting career. Jack O’Leary (18), above, who developed through Cambridge FC’s youth teams and into senior football, has become the fifth club player to sign a scholarship with the Murray State College’s Aggies. The Aggies play in the NCAA Division 3 and provide the New Zealand players to combine football and education in Oklahoma. Other Cambridge players to head to Oklahoma are Josh Clark, Matt Wheeler, Cameron Horsfall and Kyle Wisnewski. Clark (21) has since moved from the Aggies to join the William Woods University’s Owls in Missouri, while Wheeler (20) has signed for the Urbana University’s Blue Knights in Ohio. Goalkeeper Horsfall and midfielder Wisnewski are in their second year with the Aggies.
volunteers to ensure we continue to provide the best possible facilities and support for our senior and junior players. Our juniors need a few volunteers willing to run the club shop on Saturday mornings on a roster basis. It’s just a few hours but makes a huge difference. We also need volunteers to help clean the junior facilities. This can be done at a time to suit and isn’t overly time-consuming. And we’re still looking for someone to lead the planning of this year’s RICOH Quiz Night. It takes place on August 12 and we need a good organiser to help make it a success. We have a detailed written guide to help deliver what’s needed, and you’ll be supported by others who have worked on the quiz in previous years.

Kathy Maling takes over from acting secretary Josh Easby. She has full–time work experience in the sport and not–for–profit sector, working for the NZ Rugby Football Union, Paralympics New Zealand and currently for the Red Cross. Easby remains on the committee as a co– opted member.

In 2012, Cambridge FC announced that John Kerkhof Park would also become the home base for Cambridge Baseball Club. 2013: Cambridge FC and the neighbouring Cambridge Harriers and Athletics Club began a partnership, enabling the football club to play some games at the adjacent athletics track while it developed John Kerkhof Park. In 2013, the club won the Soccer Shop Waikato Plate and hosted premium events such as the Soccer Shop Waikato Cup Final, the Waikato v Bay of Plenty All Stars game, and the WaiBOP Women's All Stars v WaiBOP National League side. In late 2013, the club was appointed as the home ground for five ASB Premiership matches for new franchise WaiBOP United. This meant Cambridge became one of six bases for national league football in New Zealand (the others are Auckland, Napier, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin).
The appointment led to the club becoming an all-year operation, with investment in better facilities including upgraded playing surfaces, new changing rooms (scheduled for mid–2014) and a new irrigation system. 2014: The club's first team finished runners–up in the 2014 WaiBOP Federation Division 1, while the U-15 team won the Federation Youth League. Our women won the Waikato Women's Cup. The Cambidge Lacrosse Club moved its playing base to John Kerkhof Park in 2014. In 2014, the club won a series of high profile awards for its work in football and in the wider community. WaiBOP Football named the club its 2014 Club of the Year for its successful efforts to host ASP Premiership fixtures and other premium matches. Cambridge also won two WaiBOP Best Practice awards in 2014 (for building partnerships with sponsors, and for the participation of women at our club). The club was named Waipa District’s 2014 Supreme winner for the Truspower Community Awards, becoming only the second sports club to take this award. This

also led to the club’s nomination for the national Trustpower Community Awards to be held in Wellington in March 2015. Cambridge completed its hat-trick of major awards in 2014, being named Waipa District’s Sports Club of the Year. We were finalists in the Waikato Sports Club of the Year while chairman Greg Zeuren was named Sports Administrator of the Year for both Waipa and the Waikato in 2014. 2015: As the club entered its 68th season, it did so as an all–year operation, providing winter football for 600+ players, spring/early summer 5-a-side football for social players and acting as a base for national league summer football. It continued to make history — on February 6, 2015, it staged the first game of beach football by women played to FIFA rules and pitch standards in New Zealand, at the Karapiro Sandcourts. In March 2015, construction began of the club’s $200,000 extension to its changing rooms, providing six more sets of showers/ changing rooms for local and visiting players. On 25 May 2015, the club staged its first ever international match when Fiji and Hungary came to Cambridge for an U–20 international as preparation for the FIFA U–20 World Cup tournament. In July 2015, our club was awarded the Quality Club Mark by New Zealand Football, becoming only the fourth club in our region to achieve the 1 Star status, and becoming
